Glad you got it fixed Diana. We'd be lost here w/o you.

We never tried the Norton 360, but the Norton we did try wasn't worth anything, plus Norton slowed our computers waaaay down...they're always running it seems. We really like the people at Best Buy and then there is a guy that works on computers here in town and they both said Kasperky is one of the best. So....that's what we are using. I've had my laptop for awhile now and I've not had any pop-ups or viruses. Hubby did and Ricky did when they had Norton, but once we got them switched...they haven't had any more problems either. I heard another good one was AVG or something like that, but I have no experience with it.

I'd just switch over to Glen's computer. Ha Ha!!! He doesn't like for me to be on it and if I ever got a virus on it I'd be in such trouble. He has all of our farm info on there plus the church records. I'm always very careful when I'm on his computer.

I'm glad that I got it fixed too (fingers are crossed anyway)!!!! I might actually have to do some housework if my computer was down!!!!

I have used that malewarebytes when I had a trojan virus, and it took care of it right away. Now I have Bitdefender, which allows nothing in! But....it got a virus on it's own maleware, and I had to reinistall it. (Kind of like maleware AIDS). It is very annoying, because it takes a lot of time. It's always telling me to fix issues, and it slows down my computer. Actually, I hate it.

I have been quite annoyed by that very same Indian woman! I always try to be polite, because I know these workers are doing their best with English, which is a very difficult language. I also am glad that they have jobs so that they can support themselves and their families. Sometimes, though, it is impossible to solve a problem. I find that just quietly disconnecting (hanging up), works well.
Sometimes you can call back and get someone who is better with English, or even sometimes works out of Canada.

I am glad you got your problem solved!

Well, I'm back to tell you that I didn't get the problem solved so today I'm probably going to be on the phone all day with Dell. First I'm going to try and save my pictures and then I'm calling them. I'm on Glen's computer now because I'm afraid to be on mine any more than I have to. I'm so fustrated.

I use AVG and haven't had any problems... we use AVG on all of our work computers too. Which web browser do you use Diana? Internet Explorer can be terrible for pop-ups but I've found the pop-up blocker on Firefox is wayyyy better! Of course it won't FIX the problem, but will make using your computer a little more bearable in the meantime.

DianaB · 11-12-2009, 10:50 AM

I don't know what web browser I use. It's probably Internet explorer but I don't have any problem with pop-ups, but when you get a trojan it just pops up anyway. You can hardly do anything without it popping up and it looks like something you need to click on to get it taken care of, which actually ends up making things worse. I hope nobody else gets this thing. I hate it!!!!1
